How to connect Microsoft 365 Suite apps to Dash

Admins: How to connect apps for your team

Before team members can connect their Microsoft accounts to Dropbox Dash, you must:

Step 1: Grant permissions for Dash in Microsoft Entra ID
Step 2: Enable the apps in the Dash admin console

Step 1: Grant permissions for Dash in Microsoft Entra ID

First, grant tenant-wide admin consent to Dash. Then configure the user consent workflow (Step 1.2). If your organization requires admin approval for permission requests, you can also configure the admin consent workflow (Step 1.3).

Step 1.1: Grant tenant-wide admin consent to Dash

To grant tenant-wide consent:

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center with an account that can grant app permissions.
Click Entra ID, then Enterprise apps.
Click All applications.
Search for Dash, then choose the right app:
- Select Dropbox Dash Individual Apps if you connected Microsoft Teams individually, or connected Outlook or OneNote before March 2.
- Select Dropbox Dash Microsoft 365 if you connected Outlook, OneNote, or OneDrive on or after March 2, or connected Microsoft 365 Suite apps at the same time.
- Select Dropbox Dash Teams Admin if you’re setting up Microsoft Teams for your organization.
Select Permissions under Security.
Review the app permission requirements, then select Grant admin consent if approved.

Learn more about the tenant-wide consent.

Step 1.2: Configure the user consent workflow

Configure the user consent workflow to control when and how team members can grant app permissions. If your organization requires admins to review permission requests before approval, you can also configure the admin consent workflow in Step 1.3.

Note: You only need to configure this workflow once for any Microsoft connector. After it’s set up, the configuration applies to all Microsoft apps.

To configure the user consent workflow:

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as a Global Administrator.
Click Entra ID, then Enterprise apps.
Click Consent and permissions, then User consent settings.
Under User consent for applications, select which consent setting you want to configure for all users.
Select Save to save your settings.

Learn more about configuring the user consent workflow.

Step 1.3: Configure the admin consent workflow

To maintain admin oversight while team members request access, configure the admin consent workflow.

Note: You only need to configure this workflow once for any Microsoft connector. After it’s set up, the configuration applies to all Microsoft apps.

To configure the admin consent workflow:

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as a Global Administrator.
Click Entra ID, then Enterprise apps.
Click Consent and permissions, then Admin consent settings.
Under Admin consent requests, toggle Yes for Users can request admin consent to apps they are unable to consent to.
Configure the following settings:
- Designate who can review admin consent requests.
- Enable or disable email notifications for requests and expiration reminders.
- Specify how long requests remain valid.
  - Note: Learn more about configuration settings.
Click Save.

Learn more about the admin consent workflow.

Notes:

It can take up to an hour for the workflow to become enabled.
You can add or remove reviewers by modifying the Who can review admin consent requests list.
Even after being removed, reviewers can still review requests created while they were reviewers and will continue to receive expiration reminders for those requests. New reviewers won’t be assigned to requests created before they were added. Learn more about the admin consent workflow.
